Hob controls
Ceramic heater
The ceramic heater is controlled by a 6 position knob.
The ceramic heater is operated by turning the control
knob to the required setting. Near each control knob is
a symbol which indicates the heater that is controlled
by that knob. The on/off light on the control panel will
show if any of the ceramic heaters are in use.
Knob Position Function
0 Off position
1 Keep warm position
2-3 Heating position at low heat
4-5-6 Cooking, roasting and boiling
position
Important: The knob rotation direction may differ
according to the product specification.
Dual and oval heaters (if available)
Dual and oval heaters have two heating zones. To
activate the outer zone of a dual/oval heater, turn the
knob to position. Both outer zones will switch on.
To deactivate the outer zone of a dual/oval heater, turn
the knob to the ‘Off’ position. Both outer zones will
switch off.
Residual heat indicator (if available)
After using the hob there will be heat stored in the
vitroceramic glass called residual heat. If the residual
heat level is greater than +60°C, the residual heat
indicator will be active for the cooking zone which is
above this temperature.
If the power supply to the hob is disconnected while
the residual heat indicator is on, the warning light will
flash when the power is reconnected. The display will
flash until the residual heat has decreased or until one
of the cooking zones is activated.
Hints and tips
Important:
When ceramic heaters are operated in
higher heat settings, the heated areas may be seen
switching on and off. This is due to a safety device
which prevents the glass from overheating. This is
normal at high temperatures, causing no damage to
the hob and little delay in cooking times.
WARNING:
• Never operate the hob without pans on the cooking
zone.
• Use only flat saucepans with a sufficiently thick
base.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before
placing it on the hob.
• While the cooking zone is in operation, it is
important to ensure that the pan is centred correctly
above the zone.
• In order to conserve energy, never use a pan with a
different diameter to the hotplate being used.
